Why Buhari Government Is South West Government

by life2017: 9:06pm On Jun 06

I have always maintained this Buhari Govt is south west government. South west as a region is a major Beneficiary of this Buhari government.

In terms of Appointment, south west is well represented both in numbers and relevance. Actually south west control the economic policy of this govt with Osibanjo as the head of the economic team. Minister of finance South west. The economic engine room in terms of expenditure which is works, power and housing is under South west control through Fashola. The number one source of revenue to federal govt which is FIRS is headed by Tinubu's boy Babatunde Fowler. But many people are ignorant of this fact because all attention is on NNPC. FIRS generate more revenue than NNPC because oil companies pay their tax to FIRS and not NNPC. in 2017 while NNPC generated 2 trillion Naira, FIRS generated 4 trillion Naira.


In terms of infrastructure, south west got a huge share in the infrastructural expenditure on rail, road, airport etc. Lagos- Ibadan expressway , Lagos - ibadan rail huge capital cost comes to mind.

In terms of party politics, South west is well respected and relevant in APC. Tinubu wanted the chairman gone, and he is as good as gone. He nominated Oshiomole as a replacement and it is as good as a done deal.

In terms of federal govt specific state targeted policy/ decision, south west has benefitted through Lagos. This govt has given support to Lagos state by giving national stadium to Lagos state, by giving or allowing oshodi airport road to be managed by Lagos state. And through support for Dangote refinery and epe seaport.

Declaring June 12 democracy day is a masterstroke. And honouring Gani with the award of GCON is also a sign Buhari have high regards for south west. And also with this action, he has completely destroyed his most powerful critic in south west which is Obasanjo. He just silenced OBJ among the south westerners. This a technical knockout to OBJ. He just further destroyed OBJ among south west historians and political activists.


Even under Obasanjo, south west didn't get this level of regards and respect. Under GEJ, South west was taken for granted whether deliberately or not.

It also mean Tinubu movement from AD to AC to ACN to APC has achieved something significant.Tinubu and other ACN members have been fighting for June 12 to be named democracy day. Tinubu just achieved that. Democracy day he started in Lagos and other south west state has become National. What a great achievement!!! Tinubu will be very proud as the current face of south west politics.

And if the south east(igbo) don't play smart and matured politics, if Buhari wins 2019 which as at today is the most likely case , South west has a very high chance of taking over from him in 2023. At the end they will start shouting marginalization/betrayal all over again forgetting that politics is a game of number. You only win when u play the right game that will give u the number.

i just dey laugh

Baawaa:
Igbos will be crying as if Ojukwu can wake up to see wonders

e pain nam o!!!

Another gimmick to win the Yoruba nation on his side knowing that his popularity within the Yoruba nation is fading faster than he thinks.

What is the importance of killing a man and his dream and honour his grave? Just asking oo.

vizkiz:
Stull doesn't mean we will vote for you come 2019. The sane ones know it is all election tactics

You and who are the 'we'?

You are on your own o.

Abacha killed Abiola,yet abacha was praised by buhari only to turn around suddenly to sing for abiola again,so abacha is a good man and abiola is good as well,impression frm this goverment.... God hlp us

It seems you're illiterate of history, it was during Abdulsalam Abubakar regime Abiola met the end of his life during UN envoys' meeting with the military government that taken over after Abacha death

bigwig10:
Abacha killed Abiola,yet abacha was praised by buhari only to turn around suddenly to sing for abiola again,so abacha is a good man and abiola is good as well,impression frm this goverment.... God hlp us

Did he praise Abacha for killing Abiola?

I think you really need God's help.

edo3:
Am sure it is this bastard tinubu that is orchestrating all these ideas,,but they are all in for a shocker come 2019...Before all u bastards BMC crew quotes me,,check all my comments before 2015 election,, I was pro buhari to d core..

Being pro Buhari before should not be an issue....just bring your candidate for 2019 and let the game begin.

Wura Abiola! 20 years on you still dey bear your papa name. You never still marry?

Buhari should do the same for the East by giving Ojukwu GCFR in his desperate bid to win 2019 presidential election.

Lagos Abeokuta road is being reconstructed by Buhari. A road that has been a nightmare from Sango to Ifo and OBJ did nothing about during his time.

These actions will make baba Obasanjo more irrelevant among his own people. OBJ was pressured to declare June 12 democracy day by the progressives. He sturbonly ignored and declare May 29 to spite his own people.

It is also getting at IBB, the gap-toothed evil genius of June 12.

These are better than sharing millions of dollars to traditional rulers- one of the stupidities of the Jonathan campaign strategies.

Smartest political move in Nigeria in recent time!

The kite you are flying will NOT take to the skies. Ojukwu tried to dismember this country. He never gained grassroots support outside his old Eastern region enclave, even when he contested for political office, after he returned from exile.

MKO's bid to contest for president during the election, received the widest votes from different sections of the country. MKO never tried to break up this country. MKO died in prison in his bid to actualise his mandate.

Guy, there is no basis for saying Ojukwu should be considered for the same honour.

maestroferddi:
May I drum into your thick skull that the despite the crap you were trying to project, the Igbos will give unalloyed support to separatist movements like IPOB if power does not come to the South East after the north has exhausted her present turn.

You can keep regaling yourself in infantile fantasy but note that we are not cowards...

You cannot force people to give power to you on a platter of gold. You work for it, by building bridges of friendship, tolerance and understanding across various ethnic groups, in order to convince them that you have an Igbo candidate who can represent their interests well. Noise making does not cause power to shift from one region to another. Stategising, creating strong alliances and hard work, gets the job done. Tinubu ended up marketing Buhari as the best candidate for the job, to everyone. So with the votes of the North and Southwest, as well as a few from the SE/SS, PMB found it easier to coast home to victory in 2015.

The more the SE throws their weight behind IPOB, the more the presidency of this country will elude them. This is as simple as ABC.

We don't care what you think, we demand equity in the way things are done here.

If your brutish mind can't process that, then that is your funeral.

Barack Obama became an African American president of the US because the American system had the presence of mind to institute a gesture signifying departure, at least to a reasonable extent, from state-backed racism.

In 1999, the Yorubas were beneficiaries of political understanding and pacification when the two major parties were allowed to give their tickets to candidates of Yoruba origin.

The above gesture was not engendered by any semblance of sagacity and, "bridge-buiding" by Yorubas.

Let Nigeria try sidelining the Igbos again, then we shall tell you that we don't shirk facing injustice and exploitation...

vizkiz:
Stull doesn't mean we will vote for you come 2019. The sane ones know it is all election tactics

Nothing will stop Sai Baba to be re-elected come 2019.

And i will recommend Hypo and Sniper for you to drink when it becomes reality.

Rilwayne001:
You will not vote for him, not "we we will not vote for him".

Common sense should tell you that your opinion is your opinion and not our opinion on general.

Don't mind that guy he is from IPOB country, I don't know why he is meddling in Nigeria affairs

With 2019 Election around the corner.. Buhari is using this strategy to lure the West people.. He knows the west are very gullible; What a sweet step.. lol.. Now the west people are happy for what has no significant to the better future of Nigerians.

Lol. Fùc k you and your motherfùcking presidency. You think a people who were given just £20 after the war and still launched a legendary economic resurgence to see them again catch up with their oppressors can be killed off by marginalisation? Lol tell me when Igbos have ever NOT been marginalised. Abeg shut up and geddifuck!

I will also allow the Yorubas on this board, to respond to your half-baked assertions. You obviously did not know how much effort the late MKO Abiola put into building bridges across various ethnic and social divides, before he contested for the presidency on the platform of the defunct SDP.

Those efforts won him popular support from various ethnic groups, during the 1993 elections. The cancellation of his mandate, followed by his subsequent incarceration which led to his death, was what enabled his kinsmen to get to the highest elective office, in subsequent elections.

You claim that the "In 1999, the Yorubas were beneficiaries of political understanding and pacification when the two major parties were allowed to give their tickets to candidates of Yoruba origin." How did this happen? What was the cause? Abiola built the bridges that laid the groundwork for the victory of candidates from his ethnic group, in subsequent elections. If you do not believe it, please do some research.

You may well better suiting yourself...

The Yorubas have had their time in the sun.

The Igbos must have theirs. I don't care how you want to interpret/analyst.

And don't you lecture us on building bridges. If not for your disingenuous revisionism, you have realised that the Igbos are the quintessential bridge builders.

A short look at history should telll you that the Ignorance nations are probably the highest investors in the unity of this contraption called Nigeria.

In the First Republic, it was the Igbos teaming up with the north for national cohesion. Axikiwe sacrificed his ambition and functioned as a ceremonial president....That is bridge building.

Ekwueme risked the ire of kinsmen to work with Shagari as a Vice President...Another bridge building.

In the final analysis, we have paid our dues.
We are not begging to be accorded our inalienable right. We are demanding for it. We must get it or else we shall exit this union.

Go chew on that...

You paid...'which dues?' Going to reside in another part of the country in order to buy and sell, is not building bridges, o! It is just trade & commerce. Building bridges means you exist in harmony, with people different in all respects, from your own. It means you respect their wishes, ethnic differences, lifestyle and culture, and you can also protect the interests of those quite dissimilar to you, if the need ever arises. Building bridges does NOT mean following a rabble rouser like Kanu, that called for the country to be dismembered. You cannot be arguing for some kind of inalienable right to rule, and at the same time calling for the break up of the country.

See how your post is riddled with illogicality and wishful thinking. The only revisionism going on, is the one you have been peddling. Take a chill pill and study the political terrain, before you decide to hit your keyboard, next time.
